Td04 questions

[mark_airey]

I'm just looking for some help/advice on what im doing if yous dont mind I'm a full on noob to all this so bare with lol

1.Firstly I'm going to be running de waste gated so I've removed the actuator all together and to run de wasegated is all that I need to do is weld the little flap thing inside the exhaust side to the turbo shut ? Nothing else others than that I don't need to adjust the actuator or anything first?

2.Secondly I've removed the water lines from the cartridge what should I do with them just leave them as empty nholes or put the bolts and washers back in to seal it

3.And thirdly am I correct in saying the oil return needs to be pointing downwards or as near as I can get it the the standard position of the kkk turbo (I have one the work off )

4.Oh and has anyone got any cheecky little tips on removing the studs from the exhaust side so I can draw round it for the adaptor plate as the threads are shagged on them so I can't get no nuts on them it only came with 3 in wtf lol

Thanks in advance , I've done plenty of research before putting this thread up just have found no definite answers to my questions and like I said I'm a compete noob lol cheers Jack

OK here goes

1.Easiest way (and the way mine is done) is to have the actuator in place so the wastegate is fully closed and then weld round the arm but your plan would also work, you just need to keep it closed basically

2. Mine are just left open, won't do any harm at all as far as I can see TBH

3. yes, you are correct. otherwise you will end up with a compressor full of oil which is never a good thing!

4.try lots of WD40 or similar to soak it and then heat the casting up and use something like mole grips or a plumbers wrench if the threads are fooked already.
